The Authorship Story

Data Insight

Once the credits exist, Gucci Mane is on all of them. From The Appeal in 2010 through Breath of Fresh Air in 2023 there is not a single album track without his name. What changes underneath is who stands next to him, and the answer for two decades is Zaytoven: producer on 66 tracks and co-writer on 46, more than twice anyone else. The other constants arrive in waves. Drumma Boy produces eleven of the thirteen tracks on The Return of Mr. Zone 6, Mike Will Made It nine of the fourteen on Everybody Looking, and Southside and Murda Beatz take over the late 2010s. The gaps are all early or very late: Trap House credits writers on four tracks, Back to the Trap House on none, and Episodes in 2025 has no Wikipedia article and no published credits anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions Gucci Mane

Does Gucci Mane write his own songs?
He has a writing credit on 222 of the 278 tracks across his seventeen studio albums. Every album from The Appeal in 2010 onwards credits him on every track. The 56 without his name are on three early or very recent records where no writing credits were ever published, not songs written by someone else.
Who does Gucci Mane work with most?
Zaytoven, by a wide margin. He produced 66 Gucci Mane album tracks and takes a writing credit on 46, going back to the 2005 debut. Mike Will Made It has 22 writing credits, Drumma Boy 18 and Southside 15.
Who wrote "Wasted"?
Gucci Mane with Fatboi, who produced it, and the guest verse writers. It reached number 36 on the Hot 100, his highest-charting single as a lead artist at the time.
How many albums has Gucci Mane released?
Seventeen studio albums, from Trap House in 2005 to Episodes in 2025. The mixtapes and collaborative records are counted separately and there are far more of those.
What is Gucci Mane's real name?
Radric Delantic Davis, born February 12, 1980 in Bessemer, Alabama and raised in Atlanta.
Has Gucci Mane won a Grammy?
No. His Grammy nomination came in 2020, for Best R&B Performance with "Exactly How I Feel" alongside Lizzo. He has also been nominated at the BET Awards, the BET Hip Hop Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Awards, and has not won any of them.
Which Gucci Mane album charted highest?
Everybody Looking and Mr. Davis both reached number 2 on the Billboard 200. Everybody Looking, released weeks after he left prison in 2016, was his highest-charting album at the time.
Why are some Gucci Mane albums missing writer credits?
Three of them publish none. Trap House credits writers on four of its eighteen tracks, Back to the Trap House on none of its fourteen, and Episodes has no Wikipedia article at all. Discogs and MusicBrainz carry producer credits for the first two and nothing for the third.
Who is Zaytoven?
The producer who built most of the early Gucci Mane sound. He produced thirteen of the seventeen tracks on Hard to Kill and eight of the eighteen on Trap House, and he is still on Breath of Fresh Air in 2023.
What was Gucci Mane's first hit?
"Icy", with Young Jeezy, from the 2005 debut Trap House. It reached number 46 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. His first Hot 100 entry was "Freaky Gurl" from Hard to Kill, at number 62.
